Former Daily Show host Jon Stewart and his wife, Tracey, are embarking on a new career as owners of a sanctuary for abused farm animals. Stewart, who stepped down as host of the Daily Show in August after a successful 16-year run ? and his family were honored Saturday at an event hosted by Farm Sanctuary, a nonprofit that helps rescued animals from factory farms. Jon told the crowd at The Plaza Hotel in New York, "I?m a little uncomfortable. I?ve spent the last 20 years immersed in the world of Washington politics and the media landscape, so I don?t know how to deal necessarily with people who have empathy." Tracey Stewart announced that the family?s 12-acre farm in Middletown, New Jersey, would serve as Farm Sanctuary?s latest animal shelter and would also include an educational center.
